When Fluid Topics end-users view search results in the Search page, they can choose whether to sort results by relevance or last update as follows:

A search interface in Fluid Topics. The interface lists '2,687 results' and offers a sort option set to 'Relevance' with a dropdown showing an additional option 'Last update'.

When end-users sort by relevance, Fluid Topics applies each of the following default sort criteria in the order listed to determine which results to display first:

  • The most relevant documents appear first.

  • Documents appear before articles.

  • Articles appear before topics.

  • Titles are sorted in ascending alphabetical order.

  • More recent content appears before older content.

In the Relevance sort section of the Search page administration interface, ADMIN and PORTAL_ADMIN users can override the default template to determine relevance based on a set of custom sort criteria.
